Benefits for members
Swiss Amcham is a private organization with approx. 1700 corporate members. It identifies and addresses all barriers to free movement of goods, services, people and investments between Switzerland and the USA. It aims to reduce barriers and difficulties for multinational companies in Switzerland (irrespective of their size or nationality), thus strengthening the position of Switzerland as an internationally attractive business location. Members benefit from an exclusive information pool and from an exceptional networking platform.
Yearbook
The Yearbook is Swiss Amcham’s flagship publication. Published once a year, it contains the member directory and a comprehensive collection of facts and figures on Swiss-U.S. business relations.

Both these publications feature the latest news on Swiss Amcham’s activities and development in issues of importance to their members.
